More then a plate
The colors of it go great in my living room with its shades of red, orange, yellow,
gold, green, silver and black. It looks so shiny like when you touch it your going to fall in
love; its hypnotizing. The circles on it look like UFO’s, it looks like there is a fish
with one eye, bubbles flowing above it as it breaths and swims. And when you touch it
it's like touching something unreal, so soft and smooth. This plate is so colorful, so
cheerful it brings a joyous and happy feeling when I look at it. The plate sitting in my
living room is so unique and so interesting, there's so many ways to describe it other than
just a plate.
I first lay my hand on the plate and start moving up, feeling the four bubbles from
the fish. They pop out of the plate and your fingers just glide over them because it is
so smooth. It looks like the fish’s bubbles just floating in the air in the deep "red" sea as
if an attack had taken place there. Then as you keep gliding your hand up it becomes
smooth, on a black surface finally getting to the first “UFO". I can feel the first bump as
if it is the outer, circular layer of the space ship, continuing to move my hand up feeling
another bump as if it is the inner part of the space ship.
Moving my fingertips to the left I glide down the two bumps of the “UFO"
going onto a smooth black surface, once again, finally coming to a bump leading to the
"fish’s tail". The tail is reddish-orange as if it were swimming through a "red sea". I can
feel two little grooves in the tail as my fingers are moving down the plate. Then I get to
its yellowish gills as I am moving down the fish, I go over six gills. Then I finally come
to the smooth orange and gold body, moving closer to the eye. The eye of the fish
makes it look mean and fierce. The outer layer is black going in to the color of the eye
which is like a gold color, finally into the pupil which is red and freaky.
Then I am slowly moving to the right going over a bump and up the side of the
plate starting to move my fingertips up, not to the right. This part of the plate is orange
and as I am moving up my fingers go over four bumps, alternating colors of red and
orange. Then it goes black again, the same black smooth surface as before. I keep moving
up finally coming to another, more bigger "UFO“. I go over the first bump, feeling
the outside layer of the UFO, then feeling the inner part of the UFO, admiring its
yellow and silver color. Then my hand finally just falls off of the plate and it's like back
to the reality of "it's just a plate".
When I feel this plate, with its texture and smoothness, it’s like going into a
dream. I get lost in my own little world. When I really start observing this plate I see way
more than a plate, I see what's on the plate and I see more then what meets the eye.
